This is false information, Robert Burchfield, husband of Sally Young is the son of Robert Burchfield (1710). Robert was not born on Dec. 18, 1759. This is the date of birth for Robert Burchfield (Revolutionary Soldier). Robert did not die in 1833 in Missouri. More than likely, he died after 1830 in Jefferson Co., TN. Possible children include Joseph (Susannah Holloway & Rachel Harriet Russell), Elijah, and Alexander Burchfield. Verification through YDNA testing is needed.

Over a hundred trees on ancestry.com list misinformation about this family. Robert & Sally did not marry in Warren Co., KY. Sally's parents were not John & Rebecca Anderson Rone. This line is often confused with the lines of Revolutionary Soldier Robert Burchfield and Meshack Burchfield, sons of Thomas and Sarah Leatherwood Burchfield. A clear list of children have not been verified.--Jacie9 06:26, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
